the kind of thing that paul ryan was talking about? a voucher type system? >> is your responsibility to buy your plan with this voucher. >> well, i don't think he will do that. >> can you get there without doing that? >> i think you can, but it's tough. the increasing needs of eligibility to be close to the age that people are living in. the average age is about 70. it is now closing in on 80. that saves a lot of money every year. i think the president has to show the public and the republicans were asking to support higher revenue for tax reform to deal courageously. [talking over each other] >> i think you have to realize here that the president has his own constituency. and if he gets too far off the road here, he is going to lose the democrats and particularly the liberal democrats. i mean, i saw something the other day that lyndon johnson was the majority leader of the senate. he had one republican filibuster and harry reid has had 370 filibusters in the time that he has been majority leader. that is one of the reasons for the dysfunction, i think, of t

i mean, yeah, it's true isn't it, that paul ryan look like one of mitrani's kids? right? didn't convey a sense of diversity. republicans are knee-jerk inherently opposed to diversity. that is actually the case. that's kind of one of the republicans, platform. it's not platform but republicans have a knee-jerk reaction to the. those multicultural imposing diversity on this? no way. i think the party, it needs a different look, doesn't? different spokesman, different people out there. so you're right, cubans and mexican-americans and puerto ricans. but i think they need to present a different look. >> sarah palin? in the back. >> good morning. eric schultz, among the political phenomenons that intrigues me the most i think ticket splitting seems to interest me a lot but i wanted to get sure thoughts on that. just looking at some of the results, montana elected a democratic governor, democratic senator, and the president only got 42%. in missouri, nixon and mccaskill, both democrats got 55%. yet obama topped out at 44 and lost every county except jefferson and st. louis and

that's why you, the romney budget or the paul ryan budget get in to specific. they cut discretionary spending by 20% overall we're not going tell you what the specifics are. if you do you get in had to cuts in food safety and meat inspection, cuts in small airports because you have to cut out the faa in health research, fema and homeland security. that's where the money is. big bird doesn't help much on the front. and i think that's part of the argument we have ahead. obama very specifically said he wanted deal that would have $1 in revenue increases for every 2.50 in budget cuts. we're talking about a 3 30-70 ratio being there. he endorsed the gang of six plan the coburn and durbin, et al. plan and made it clear that he understands that accepting especially cut backs in medicare and medicated in the -- medicaid in the future group as a part overall deal has to be done if you can do the other side of the coin. my guess is and i'm confident on it that if simpson and bowels and coburn and chambliss and durbin and conrad and ben -- bennett all agree on a deal obam

we put forward plans to paul ryan has put forward plans in the budget we all adopted. so certainly we need to get to that simplify small but you needed to in a way that does not increase the overall burden on job careers and on families because we want our economy to grow. >> it seems both sides are talking about a two-step process, something to avert a fiscal cliff with the speakers called the down payment or a bridge. and then a bigger agreement next year. could you guys except new revenue and that first part, immediate revenue question guys are tight but raven as a part of tax reform that would not happen for a year under what everybody is talking about. would you accept out of a new revenue speak was not any cuts? spent as part of a deal that could be both cuts and revenue but it would be that first -- >> i'm not sure i would agree the revenues in the second steps. i'm sure i'm not going to agree in revenues in the first that but you need to remember, as far as i recall noticing one of the people here voted for the debt limit increase or voted for the sequester, vo

paul ryan was simultaneously a loser and a winner on tuesday night. a winner because he won his house seat, a loser for the obvious reason but also for a couple of good additional ones. it's kind of embarrassing when you're put on a ticket and you cannot carry your own state and also his percentage in his own district went down significantly. at the same time there is no question that paul ryan who was a national figure who was far more recognized by those of us in the intellectual world than by others. paul a year ago could have walked through any airport outside of wisconsin or washington in america and might well have gone unnoticed other than maybe by one or two people and now obviously he is an enormously significant figure in clearly won in the mix for 2016. he is in the mix for that kind of conservative community that is dominating the primary and caucus process before and going along with these kinds of compromises that include tax increases as part of the package comes a little trickier for him and it also becomes trickier for boehner because

we can take plans by paul ryan and give people options. whatever we do we can find a way for the future, find to save the medicare the american people have paid for. prvment in terms of the safety net, nobody wants to do away with the safety net but it's time we looked at the safety net and the cost benefit analysis. so we manage them appropriately like you would any expenditure of government. then you go to the tax code and that's where we are today. that's the sumbling block, and time is running out. and i'll be the first person to admit it would be hard to come up with a comprehensive reform in seven weeks to fix the tax code. but it would not be hard to come up with a comprehensive agreement this month now in this session to do it early next year. and push off putting us off the fiscal cliff, get a new speed dump, give us time to find common ground. maybe it's means testing deductions. which raises revenues without raising rates. in fact, there's a great argument and the argument comes from 1986 when reagan and o'neill again lowered th
